As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You’ve always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

And oh when I’m old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I’d smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I’m old and wise

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You’ve always shared my darkest hours
I’ll miss you when I go

And oh, when I’m old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds that will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a frined of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I’m old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

Eveb the winds were warm about us and the whole earth seemed the wealthier for our love.

Do you remember how you walked with me
down the street into the square?
How the women selling rosemary
pressed the branches to your chest,
promised luck and all the rest,
and put their fingers in your hair?

Rosemary. Suzanne Vega.

Czekasz na t? jedn? chwil?,
serce jak szalone bije,
zrozumia?em, po co ?yj?,
wiem, ?e czujesz to co ja.

Ej, za krótko trwa godzina,
niech si? chwila ta zatrzyma,
moim szcz??ciem chc? nakarmi?
calutki ?wiat, zdziwiony tak.

Wielka mi?o?? nie wybiera,
czy jej chcemy nie pyta nas wcale,
wielka mi?o??, wielka si?a
zostajemy jej wierni na zawsze

Min? lata, gwiazdy zgasn?,
fotografie w g?owie zgasn?,
gdy nas ludzka z?o?? roz??czy
jak i tak odnajd? Ci?,
kiedy rozum ka?e zw?tpi?,
czekaj, zadr?y ?wiecy p?omie?
bo po drugiej rzeki stronie,
jak dobrze wiem, tam ogród jest.

Sometimes I need some time
On my own
Sometimes I need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don’t you know you need some time
All alone

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We’ve been through this
Such a long long time
Just tryin’ to kill the pain
Yeahh..
But lovers always come
And lovers always go
And no one’s really sure
Who’s lettin’ go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin’ that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin’ don’t refrain
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time
On your own
Do you need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don’t you know you need some time
All alone

I know it’s hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn’t time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time
On my own
Sometimes I need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don’t you know you need some time
All alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there’s no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don’t ya think that you
Need somebody
Don’t ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

Don’t ya think that you
Need somebody
Don’t ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

Don’t ya think that you
Need somebody
Don’t ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

Don’t ya think that you
Need somebody
Don’t ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody

Dont you know that you’re so beautiful to me? That’s it!:-) Beautiful song about beautiful feelings which are so regular and so unusual at the same time. Love and beauty, beauty and love, beauty of love all of us are dreaming about. This is like “If I has to choose between loving you, and breathing. I would use my last breath to say I LOVE YOU.” This is the time when you can’t fall asleep because reality is much amazing than your dreams. But as you know the greater things in life are unseen thats why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream…

You are so beautiful to me
Can’t you see
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

don’t tell me to stop
tell the rain not to drop
tell the wind not to blow
’cause you said so mmm

tell the sun not to shine
not to get up this time no no
let it fall by the way
but don’t leave me where i lay down

chorus

tell me love isn’t true
it’s just something that we do
tell me everything i’m not
first time but please don’t tell me to stop
all other times but don’t ever tell me to stop

tell the leaves not to turn
but don’t ever tell me i’ll learn no no
take the black off a crow
but don’t tell me i have to go

tell the bed not to lay
like the open mouth of a grave yeah
not to stare up at me
like a calf down on its knees

chorus
chorus prefixing 1st and 3rd lines with don’t you ever

don’t you ever
please don’t
please don’t
please don’t tell me to stop

don’t you ever
don’t you ever
don’t ever tell me to stop

tell the rain not to drop
tell the bed not to lay
like a open mouth of a grave yeah
not to stare up at me
like a calf down on its knees

The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can’t disguise
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you

You’ve got the
Look of love, it’s on your face
A look that time can’t erase
Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow and then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don’t ever go
Don’t ever go

“Autumn Leaves” is one of the most re recorded songs. Originally this charming French melody sounded in 1945, then it was introduced by Yves Montand for the film Les Portes de la Nuit, in 1946. The music of “Les feuilles mortes” (literally “The Dead Leaves”) was written by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by the french surrealist poet Jacques Prévert.

Oh, je voudais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux où nous étions amis
En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu’aujourd’hui.

Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Tu vois, je n’ai pas oublié
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi.

Et le vent du Nord les emporte,
Dans la nuit froide de l’oubli.
Tu vois je n’ai pas oublié,
La chanson que tu me chantais…

Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi,
Mais mon amour silencieux et fidèle
Sourit toujours et remercie la vie.

Je t’aimais tant, tu étais si jolie,
Comment veux-tu que je t’oublie?
En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu’aujourd’hui.

Tu étais ma plus douce amie
Mais je n’ai que faire des regrets.
Et la chanson que tu chantais,
Toujours, toujours je l’entendrai.

C’est une chanson qui nous ressemble,
Toi tu m’aimais, moi je t’aimais
Et nous vivions, tous deux ensemble,
Toi qui m’aimais, moi qui t’aimais.

Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment,
Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis.

C’est une chanson qui nous ressemble,
Toi tu m’aimais et je t’aimais
Et nous vivions tous deux ensemble,
Toi qui m’aimais, moi qui t’aimais.

Some later in 1947 the “Les feuilles mortes” was translated into the english by American songwriter Johnny Mercer. Since Roger Williams made the song a number one hit in the United States in 1955, the song is remaining in that position for ever:-)

The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

It’s all right!:-) Whitney Houston comes back! You know, it’s really great thing one has to celebrate when someone he or she loves the most comes back, right? So, one of my favorites, the Diva comes back and this news makes me happy. Since 1998′s “My Love Is Your Love” is still her best album as an accessible, elegant and entertaining collection of slick pop-soul songs, diva ballads and uptempo R&B jams. I love it. “I was not built to break,” she says. Steady!

If tomorrow is a judgement day
And I’m standin’ on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you

If I wake up in World War 3
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It’s okay if you comin’ with me

If I lose my fame and fortune
And I’m homeless on the street
And I’m sleepin’ in Grand Central Station
It’s okay if you’re sleepin’ with me

As the years they pass us by
we stay young through each other’s eyes
And no matter how old we get
It’s okay as long as I got you babe

If I should die this very day
Don’t cry, cause on earth we wasn’t meant to stay
And no matter what people say
I’ll be waiting for you after judgement day

‘Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
